Better than Catwoman and Superman IV but not much.

You know what. I really believe it's not even about the numbers. People are sticking with the agendas no matter what. The numbers, reviews, crowd reports etc. is just a smokescreen. People are so entrenched in their positions they can't see the forest for the trees.

You are absolutely right.But to be fair, 7.5m is excellent, haters be damned.

Once WOM kicks in, this will fall like a rock. Bet on it. It's way too boring for kids and adults so all it caters to are teens and more so female teens.

So.. Not a 2 multiplier from 6 day??

You should have left the theater. You just wasted your time watching this shit.

baumer, the real question is:Is it better than PROMETHEUS?Or CITIZEN KANE?

[JackO]

Magic Mike has a higher RT score then Spidurrmanz!

[Jay Beezy]

You can track down my posts, I've been saying that $325m is the floor for ages. But I don't believe that's how it will go down, I'm going for the high end.

I can find the post where you said the high end for you was 550M.

Or The Artist?

[CJohn]

Baumer is here, all hell breaks loose.

[Jack Nevada]

He said that? Wow.

[kayumanggi]

I'm surprised Baumer didn't like it. It's the new TWILIGHT right. lol

[baumer]

I'll get into more in the spoiler forum, but I did almost fall asleep once or twice. To be fair I was up at 4 today so I didn't get a lot of sleep but the first 20 minutes that basically retells the first Spiderman movie was horrible and then when Parker becomes Spidey, it gets worse. The final act with the lizard made me think they watched BB and TDK and just changed some of the words around, amalgamated a few scenes and called it their own.

Quote from Deadline article about Spider-Man 3's box office in May 2007:http://www.deadline....er-than-1-or-2/SM3 made 59M on Friday with midnights then made 51M on Saturday. Using those percentages, you get about 49M on Friday without midnights. 59 - 49 = 10.

Not an exact number, I'd rather trust Sony on this.

Because critics like ding dongs.

[Caboose]

I see iJack is moving the goal posts already. Good luck with that 400M prediction.

[Magic]

btw, that Sony spin is priceless.... and so easily proven wrong. Just pull up their own press releases, and news reports from BOM and Nikki for 2007 and SM3.It made $10m. Not $7.5m.Awesome.

Most people won't know any better, but we do!

[redfirebird2008]

Sony spins, and you guys all believe. Lol. That midnight number being the same as SM3 is a joke.

I think it's a solid opening and I feel the movie will perform well, but I definitely think Sony's spin deserves to be called out. Many of us here have been tracking this stuff for a long time, so lying about the performance of one of your previous films isn't going to work with this audience. Then again, they're counting on casual observers to take their word for it instead of doing the research to find the facts.

[JackO]

I can find the post where you said the high end for you was 550M.

That backtracking begins!

Yep lol. It's an even crazier revision in history than Puerto Rico. It's officially $10m for FIVE YEARS until it isn't at Sony's convenience. Edited July 3, 2012 by Biggestgeekever

It's an ambivalent number. 7.5 is ok, but it is not fantastic and it is not a big boy number. It's not terrible either, that would require it to be less than 5 mill imho.
